That's a hard one to figure out. There are a few ladies that just handmake items for their person and count it all towards the $20.
The $20 is pretty much a cut-off because now with money tight with the economy, it's hard for some to squeak out that amount.
I don't judge if people put more in the box than the $20, some people are just a bit more enthusiastic with giving, while others adhere to the $20 because that's mainly all they can afford.
Am I going to whip people with wet noodles if they send more? Nope. Nothing I can do if someone wants to be generous. It's just the way people are.
So, if you want to count a home made item towards the amount, that's ok, if not, that's ok too.
